While 2015 marked 35 years for 

Jesuit Refugee Service, we can 

trace the genesis of JRS to an 

event in the life of Fr. Pedro Arrupe, 

S.J. more than 70 years ago. On August 

6, 1945, Fr. Arrupe was going about his 

daily routine when a violent explosion 

knocked him off his feet. 

Remarkably, he and his colleagues at 

the Jesuit compound in Hiroshima were 

unscathed by the first atomic bomb 

used in warfare. But tens of thousands 

around them weren’t so lucky. Fr. Arrupe 

immediately set out tending to the sick

(L’Osservatore Romano) 

and dying in Hiroshima. He saw people who had lost everything, 

and he was powerless to change that. He recognized 

the only way he could truly help was to accompany them, to 

be an abiding companion, regardless of personal risks. It is in 

this spirit that Jesuit Refugee Service was founded in 1980. 

In the early years, Jesuit Refugee Service responded to 

Fr. Arrupe’s call by sending staff, volunteers, teachers and 

administrators worldwide to meet the educational, health, 

social and other needs of refugees and forcibly displaced 

people. Today, from Bangkok to Bogota, Syria to Sri Lanka, 

JRS is on the ground in more than 45 countries, reaffirming 

the centuries-old Jesuit tradition of going anywhere in the 

world to serve the most vulnerable. Our mission is universal. 

With accompaniment at the core of the 

JRS mission, another vital dimension 

of JRS’s work is to defend the rights of 

refugees and internally displaced persons 

throughout the world. Through 

extensive advocacy and outreach, 

JRS/USA constantly pushes for just 

and generous policies and programs 

on behalf of people forced into exile, 

including efforts to ban landmines and 

cluster bombs, end the use of child 

soldiers, improve food security, and 

build peace and reconciliation. 

As we embark on our next chapter, we 

are committed to our Jesuit roots. JRS is building on its Jesuit 

tradition of education with the launch of our new Global 

Education Initiative. During an audience at the Vatican on 

November 14, 2015, Pope Francis urged us to participate 

in the 2016 Year of Mercy, and we committed to provide 

educational services to 240,000 refugees and displaced people 

by the year 2020. The Pope said, “to give a child a seat at 

school is the finest gift you can give.” We agree. 

As I shook the Pope’s hand, I assured him that Jesuit 

Refugee Service/USA and our generous partners would be 

companions in this life-saving work.

Global Education Initiative 

Pope Francis greets JRS staff, supporters and refugees during an audience at the Vatican on Nov. 14, 2015. (L’Osservatore Romano) 

In December 2015, Jesuit Refugee 

Service launched the Mercy 

in Motion campaign in support 

of our Global Education Initiative. 

During an audience at the Vaticanwith 

JRS staff and supporters 

on November 14, Pope Francis 

reminded us that “to give a child a 

seat at school is the finest gift you 

can give.” 

The goal of our Global Education Initiative 

is to provide educational services to 

240,000 refugees and displaced people 

by the end of the decade. 

Education is a life-saving intervention. 

In emergencies where most agencies 

provide only the most basic humanitarian 

assistance, JRS is on the ground 

organizing educational and recreational 

activities to heal trauma, promote human 

dignity, and build skills. 

The JRS approach fosters positive 

change. The seat at school provides 

urgently needed security and normalcy 

to at-risk children and youth. It nurtures 

both individual growth and leads to 

long-term, durable solutions that draw 

communities away from conflict and 

toward a shared, peaceable future.

Education helps resettled refugees 

integrate and contribute 

to their new communities 

more quickly, and helps refugees 

who are able to return 

home to rebuild their countries. 

Armando Borja 

JRS/USA Director 

Jesuit Refugee Service provides secondary education to refugees from the Darfur region of Sudan in eight refugee camps in eastern Chad, including Kounoungou, left, 

and Milé. In 2015, JRS provided education services to more than 45,000 refugees in the region. (Christian Fuchs — JRS)

In 2015, JRS commemorated 35 years of service 

to and for refugees and the displaced. 

This report highlights key moments from our past 

that are relevant to our present and our future.

Beginnings 

Noting the great numbers of people 

fleeing Southeast Asia and seeking 

refuge elsewhere, Jesuit Superior 

General Fr. Pedro Arrupe S.J. appeals 

to Jesuit major superiors for practical 

assistance. 

The generous ‘first wave of action’ 

following Fr. Arrupe’s appeal inspires 

him to reflect on how much 

more the Society of Jesus could do 

if its responses to crises of forced 

human displacement were planned 

and coordinated. In a letter to Jesuits 

around the world on Nov. 14, 

1980, Fr. Arrupe founds JRS. 

1979 1980

From our beginnings in Thailand, JRS has placed education at the forefront of our 

services. “In Maban (South Sudan), JRS educational and psychosocial activities 

serve both Christians and Muslims alike, without discrimination. When I visit the 

JRS nursery school or English or teacher training (right) classes, and realize that 

both Christians and Muslims are seated side by side, learning together, I am filled 

with hope. A brighter future is possible,” says JRS Maban project director Fr. Pau 

Vidal S.J. (Angela Wells — JRS Eastern Africa) 

Before setting off to work 

with refugees, Fr. Pierre 

Ceyrac S.J. turned to Fr. 

Arrupe for confirmation. 

“Of course, go!” was the 

immediate reply. 

Fr. Ceyrac then taught at 

refugee camps in Thailand 

for 12 years.

All your projects have this ultimate aim: to help refugees to grow in 

self-confidence, to realize their highest inherent potential and to be 

able to defend their rights as individuals and communities. 

Pope Francis, Nov. 14, 2015 

The mission of Jesuit Refugee Service/ 

USA is to accompany, serve and advocate 

for the rights of refugees and other 

forcibly displaced persons. 

To accompany means to be a companion 

to the most vulnerable of our brothers 

and sisters worldwide. 

JRS services are available to refugees 

and displaced persons regardless of 

their race, ethnic origin, or religious 

beliefs. 

JRS advocates for just and generous 

policies and programs for the benefit of 

victims of forced displacement, so they 

can receive the support and protection 

they need until durable solutions are 

implemented 

The focus of our work is to help those we 

serve to heal, to have the opportunity to 

learn and ultimately to thrive. 

Heal because the refugee experience is 

one of sudden, catastrophic loss — of family, 

friends, home, community, livelihoods 

— and ongoing trauma of fear, violence 

and despair. 

Learn because education is the one 

life-saving intervention that cannot be 

taken away, providing a path to a better 

future, community empowerment and 

peace building. 

Thrive because enabling devastated people 

to take back their lives re-instills the 

self-reliance and independence they once 

had and builds confidence and hope for a 

better future for all of us — now and for 

generations to come.

The Mission of Accompaniment 

From our beginning 35 years ago, 

the mission of Jesuit Refugee 

Service has been threefold: to accompany, 

to serve, and to advocate. 

The three aspects of our mission are 

not separate; rather they are deeply 

interrelated. We wish to walk with 

and know the refugees we serve and 

Leo J. O’Donovan, S.J. for whom we advocate. 

To serve truly, we believe we must 

know the men and women and children 

we hope to serve. To advocate on behalf of refugees presumes 

we know their needs and their hearts still more. In 

coming to know them, we come to a deeper sense of our own 

hearts and needs and hopes. 

Mission is a response to vocation. It was not simply the compassion 

of Fr. Pedro Arrupe that led him to found JRS, nor the 

compassion of the thousands of men and women since him 

who have responded to the crisis of flight and displacement. 

Rather, at the center of the invitation to live generously and 

responsibly on the common home we have been given on this 

earth, we are presented with an invitation to recognize — in 

terror-struck, impoverished, homeless people — our very 

brothers and sisters. 

It is at once a shock and a challenge to realize that the human 

family to which we belong in a very real sense does not 

yet exist. We are called to it. We are responsible for it. Every 

sorrow suffered by it is ours. Every joy and every grief. Deep 

within us there stirs an invitation to find each other and 

walk together. In the words of Jean Vanier, the co-founder 

of L’Arche, it is a “call to live in communion with others, a 

call to love, to create, to risk.” It is a hope “to become freer 

each day to accept others, to be fully present to them” and 

thus only to “be able to give life.” 

There is no pity in accompaniment. There is, rather, the 

recognition of a shared humanity. There is no privilege. 

Instead we embrace the deep dignity of our fellow human 

beings with a servant’s humility. There are no limits; the 

depths of every human heart are unfathomable. 

And the heart longs for God. It longs to know who has always 

gone before us on our way, and who accompanies us 

on our way, and who dwells within us on our way. To these 

questions, at once fearful and consoling, the great liberation 

theologian Juan Luis Segundo, S.J., said that it is God 

the Father of all who always goes before us, and Jesus his 

incarnate Word in time who is always with us, and their 

Spirit of Love who is poured every day into our hearts to 

give us courage and hope. 

At JRS we have found that the accompaniment of refugees— 

our brothers and sisters—has revealed this very God 

to us, imaged in fleeing, displaced people to whom creation 

belongs just as much as to anyone else among us. 

Leo J. O’Donovan, S.J. 

Director of Mission

Fr. Arrupe’s point of view at the time (JRS started) was that we 

were to accompany the refugees. He didn’t quite spell out what kind 

of programs, but to accompany refugees. My job was to get Jesuits 

and other religious and volunteers to go and work in the refugee 

camps. Frequently the project involved some sort of educational 

program… that’s how we began.” 

Fr. Frank Moan, S.J. 

Expansion to Ethiopia 

JRS in the USA 

In May 1983, the U.S. Jesuit Conference creates the 

office of the National Coordinator for Jesuit Refugee 

Service/USA. Fr. Frank Moan, S.J., becomes the 

National Coordinator. 

JRS opens programs to aid 

people suffering from famine, 

the first step of JRS outside 

of Asia. JRS has remained in 

Ethiopia, and now operates 

programs for urban refugees 

in Addis Ababa, Eritrean 

refugees in Mai Aini camp in 

the north, and refugees from 

Somalia in two camps near 

Dollo Ado in the south.

JRS operates the only refugee community 

center in Addis Ababa. The center 

offers language courses, library facilities, 

daycare services, computer classes, 

and psychosocial support. 

An emergency needs program at the 

center offers financial support and 

counseling services. These programs 

provide not just help but hope to refugees 

struggling to survive and shape a 

better future. 

Mai Aini and Adi Harush refugee camps 

in the north of Ethiopia are home to 

refugees from Eritrea, the majority of 

whom are youth under the age of 24. 

JRS works to promote the mental and 

physical well being of refugees in the 

camps through library services and 

recreational activities such as sports, 

music, and dance. A grant from the U.S. 

State Department’s Bureau of Population, 

Refugees and Migration supported 

JRS services in Mai Aini. 

In southern Ethiopia near the Somali 

border, JRS works in Melkadida and 

Kobe camps offering counseling, adult 

literacy classes and a variety of youth 

programs similar to those in the north. 

Music training is part of the JRS youth program at 

Mai Aini refugee camp. More than 18,000 refugees 

from neighboring Eritrea live in the camp.

Legal Protections 

In 2015, Jesuit Refugee Service/USA 

launched a partnership with 13 Jesuit 

law schools to identify and address 

legal challenges faced by families and 

children from Central America seeking 

protection in the United States. 

The resulting policy paper, A Fair Chance 

for Due Process, helped focus attention 

on the plight of refugees from El Salvador, 

Guatemala, and Honduras and the 

need for access to adequate legal representation 

for vulnerable asylum seekers. 

JRS/USA’s Armando Borja introduces a panel discussion on the Legal Challenges Facing Central American 

Asylum Seekers, co-hosted by Georgetown Law and JRS/USA, at the Georgetown University Law 

Center in Washington, D.C. on July 16, 2015. (Christian Fuchs – JRS/USA) 

Aid to Asylum Seekers 

Jesuit Refugee Service/USA helps the Catholic Legal 

Immigration Network, Inc. (CLINIC) identify two Jesuit lawyers 

(Fr. Mark Horak S.J. and Fr. Michael Gallagher S.J.) to 

provide assistance to Haitian asylum seekers at the Krome 

Service Processing Center in Miami, Fla. This begins an ongoing 

partnership to provide immigration detainees access 

to legal representation. 

Bhutanese Refugee Education 

As more than 100,000 refugees move from 

Bhutan to Nepal in the early 1990s, JRS begins 

to offer education programs. Working 

in partnership with Caritas, JRS education 

initiatives pave the way for a succesful resettlement 

program. 

1991 1992

13 

Though the abilities and talents 

of (JRS Nepal staff) vary in kind 

and extent, all were put to one 

purpose, namely, the service of 

the refugees. 

PS Amalraj S.J., former director, 

JRS Bhutanese Refugee 

Education Program 

In 1992, Jesuit Refugee Service South 

Asia began providing elementary 

education — later extended through the 

tenth grade — to all Bhutanese refugee 

children in the camps in Nepal. 

Initially, JRS was able to only provide 

partial scholarships to a relative few 

of the refugees to complete their high 

school education. 

Following a visit to the program by 

Refugee students at JRS schools in Nepal. 

(Fr. Peter Balleis, S.J. — JRS) 

advocacy staff, JRS/USA successfully 

convinced the U.S. government to 

provide funds to cover a full high school 

education for all. 

Thousands of Bhutanese students who 

were later resettled in the United States 

and other countries arrived better 

prepared to integrate successfully, to 

support themselves and their families, 

or to pursue a higher education.

Europe 

Former Yugoslavia 

Bosnia: In 1993, as war raged throughout 

former Yugoslavia, the village of Borovice 

was razed, and nearly all residents fled the 

onslaught. In 1998, JRS Bosnia supported 

the reconstruction of the first houses. Other 

organizations got involved; the church 

and many homes were rebuilt, and those 

wishing to return home were able to do so.

1992

Thousands of refugees and migrants 

made the short but perilous voyage 

from Turkey to Greece in 2015. JRS sent 

a team to the Greek island of Lesbos to 

assist the new arrivals, whose volume 

overwhelmed existing reception facilities. 

Many refugees lacked shelter, food, 

and water, and had no option but to 

sleep in the open. 

While the large influx of refugees to 

Greece is a relatively new phenomenon, 

the island nation of Malta has 

received refugees for two decades. JRS 

Malta champions the rights of migrants 

seeking refuge, provides legal advice, 

organizes visits at detention centers, 

provides psychological support, and 

facilitates access to healthcare.

Advocacy has been part of the JRS mission since the birth of 

the organization. 

Fr. Mark Raper S.J., first director of the JRS Asia Pacific Region 

and later JRS International Director, asserted that by listening 

to refugees “we hear the message that another kind of world is 

possible.” Inspired by those we accompany and serve, JRS advocates 

bear witness to the needs and aspirations of refugees, 

bringing the voices of the voiceless to those with the power to 

change the world for the better. 

Effective advocacy operates on many levels, from supporting 

basic human rights to bringing about global policy change. 

During the first days following the establishment of JRS programs 

on the Thai-Cambodia border, local advocacy on behalf 

of individuals and families in urgent need of protection was 

the main focus. 

A Tradition of Advocacy 

It soon became clear that many of the problems harming refugee 

communities required change that could not be successfully 

addressed at the grassroots level alone. An early example 

was our experience working with landmine survivors. 

Over the years, JRS has pioneered an advocacy model that 

champions the rights of refugees in our field projects. We carry 

our mission forward by aligning ourselves with international 

advocacy campaigns to address both local and global concerns. 

JRS has field staff in nearly 50 countries, many of whom live 

in refugee camps and communities; many are refugees themselves. 

Our advocacy staff in Rome, Geneva, Brussels, and 

Washington, D.C., is uniquely positioned to bring current information 

to policy makers based on first-hand reports from 

the field. By detailing the effects that policies — or gaps in policy 

— have on real people, we are able to offer grounded, practical 

recommendations for action to decision-makers. 

Seeking an End to Landmines 

JRS/USA coordinates education and advocacy 

by U.S. Jesuits in support of the International 

Campaign to Ban Landmines. 

1994

17 

By fostering constructive relationships with humanitarian institutions 

and governments, JRS has built a reputation for effectiveness 

and excellence. Our policy recommendations find 

credibility among international audiences. 

In the United States, we are committed to improving the conditions 

of detained asylum seekers and ensuring the rights and 

welfare of people in detention. Our detention chaplaincy program 

reinforces our mission of accompaniment and enables 

us to communicate on detainees’ behalf to the Department of 

Homeland Security. 

As a founder of the Kino Border Initiative — a binational organization 

that works in the area of migration and is located in 

Nogales, Arizona and Nogales, Sonora, Mexico — JRS helped 

amplify calls for better treatment of people in the process of 

deportation. We continue to provide support to this project 

Given the pre-eminent role of the United States — as a political 

actor, as the largest humanitarian donor of refugee assistance, 

and as the country with the largest number of resettled 

refugees — JRS/USA partners with other JRS regions to advocate 

for both local and global concerns. In recent years, we 

have successfully advanced a variety of causes including the 

resettlement of 100,000 Bhutanese refugees, the increase of 

U.S. humanitarian funding in Colombia, and the protection of 

Pakistani refugee families in Thailand. 

JRS/USA is currently focused on two major issues at the center 

of our mission. The first is improving access to education 

for refugees and the internally displaced both in emergencies

“Crisis in Syria: Educating Refugee Children.” The briefing was held in collaboration 

with The Basic Education Coalition, the Global Campaign for Education 

United States Chapter, and RESULTS. (Christian Fuchs — JRS) 

and protracted crises. The second is to protect the safety, 

dignity, and well-being of extremely vulnerable people as 

refugee populations increasingly move from camps to urban 

settings. Both of these efforts build on JRS’s 35 years of 

work on behalf of refugee communities, in partnership with 

whom we seek to build a better world.

18 

Detention 

The Jesuit Refugee Service/USA 

Detention Chaplaincy Program provides 

pastoral and religious assistance 

to meet the needs of non-citizens detained 

by the Department of Homeland 

Security in five U.S. federal detention 

centers. 

For the past several years, we have 

worked in detention centers in El Paso, 

Texas; Florence, Arizona; and Batavia, 

New York. In 2015, JRS/USA was asked 

to respond to needs at two additional 

centers, Krome Service Processing 

Center in Miami, Florida and Port Isabel 

SPC in Los Fresnos, Texas. 

To accompany is a constant challenge. It demands that we be 

non-proselytizing, summoning forth an existential respect for 

the religious or spiritual beliefs of any individual — no matter 

how different — we encounter. This calls me to surrender my 

preconceived world-view and personal prejudices, to accept 

that my beliefs are in no way superior to anybody else’s. They 

are merely different. It is about the recognition of the limits 

of our competencies, about our frailties as being part of 

rather than apart from. This is what JRS brings to the table of 

detention ministry.

Special Needs 

In pursuit of our mission to serve the 

most vulnerable refugees, JRS has emphasized 

work on behalf of people with 

disabilities. 

Examples include assistance to landmine 

survivors in Cambodia (left), sign 

language training for deaf Bhutanese 

refugees in Nepal, programs for special 

needs children and adults in Kakuma, 

and supplying wheelchairs to the 

disabled in Syria. JRS also works with 

families and local communities to support 

access for those with disabilities 

to schools and other services, including 

livelihood opportunities. 

From our earliest days, JRS has served refugees 

with disabilities, such as this Cambodian 

man in Thailand in the 1980s. (JRS Asia 

Pacific) 

Nobel Peace Prize 

The Ottawa Treaty banning the use of landmines is signed. The 

International Campaign to Ban Landmines is awarded the Nobel 

Peace Prize “for their work for the banning and clearing of 

anti-personnel mines,” and JRS Cambodia Director Sr. Denise 

Coghlan, who continues to play a key role in the ICBL, travels to 

Oslo for the award ceremony. 

JRS ensured more than 100 children 

with disabilities at Kenya’s Kakuma refugee 

camp (right) had access to disability-friendly 

furniture at camp day care 

centers. 

Community-based physical therapy was 

provided for more than 100 children 

with cerebral palsy so they could improve 

their flexibility, strength, mobility 

and function. During the sessions, therapists 

trained parents and guardians so 

they could continue providing therapy 

to their children. 

The physio/occupational therapy children 

at Kakuma receive has helped them 

become more physically and mentally 

active, and improved their overall daily 

living skills. One child, for example, 

was able to regain mobility after having 

been paralyzed for about two years. He 

can now walk, though he still hasn’t 

regained his speech. 

1997

Thanks to the generosity of many supporters, JRS provides children at Kakuma targeted education and life-skills instruction. Some of the children suffer 

from mental and physical disabilities, while others are malnourished and require nutritional support. JRS provided children with cerebral palsy nutritious 

and easy-to-swallow food on a daily basis, and community-based physical therapy was provided enabling them to improve their flexibility, strength, and 

mobility. (Christian Fuchs — Jesuit Refugee Service/USA)

Chad and Sudan 

JRS continues to operate schools 

for refugees from Sudan’s Darfur 

region in camps throughout eastern 

Chad. By 2015, JRS was providing 

education to nearly 50,000 

refugees in the region. 

2004

JRS has served refugees from 

Sudan’s Darfur region in the 

harsh environment of eastern 

Chad for the last decade, and 

offers pre-school and primary 

education in eight refugee camps. 

A grant from the U.S. State Department’s 

Bureau of Population, 

Refugees and Migration enabled 

JRS to provide education to nearly 

1,000 refugees in secondary 

schools in five camps in eastern 

Chad, near the Darfur border. 

Schools in Milé and Kounoungou 

are now well 

equipped with computers, 

generators, and desks.

Partnership with PRM 

For the first time, JRS/USA is awarded a 

grant from the U.S. State Department’s Bureau 

of Population, Refugees and Migration. 

The first grant is for education programs in 

Nimule, (now South) Sudan.

Thailand: Since 2014, JRS has been the only organization providing a comprehensive 

range of services to the urban refugee community in Bangkok. JRS 

offers legal and financial assistance, social and mental health programs, and 

access to basic services such as education, medical care and housing. JRS also 

assists refugees, including unaccompanied refugee children, in obtaining protection 

through the United Nations Refugee Agency. (Angela Wells — JRS) 

JRS has provided services in Kenya’s 

Kakuma refugee camp since 1994. JRS 

services include counseling for refugees 

— and training refugees as community 

counselors; a mental health program 

that teaches education and life skills to 

refugees with developmental disabilities; 

and the JRS “Safe Haven” — a specialized 

facility providing women and 

children with protection from sexual 

and gender-based violence. 

South Africa: Refugees have the legal right to work, but finding employment 

can be difficult. JRS helps them on the road to self-reliance by providing 

skills training, vocational education and small business training and support. 

(Christian Fuchs — JRS) 

JRS Safe Haven programs in Kakuma provide 

a secure space to heal and to gain skills which 

give refugees purpose and strength to persevere.

Syria and the Middle East 

Less than six years ago Syrians 

were welcoming Iraqi refugees 

into their country, offering them 

solace and a place to rebuild. 

Jesuit Refugee Service worked in 

Syria and Jordan to serve refugees 

from the conflict in Iraq. As war engulfed 

Syria, our programs adapted 

to accommodate the growing 

Iraq Crisis 

needs of Syrians displaced within their 

country and Syrian refugees who fled to 

neighboring countries seeking safety. 

In response to the unprecedented numbers 

of families and individuals fleeing 

their homes across Iraq and Syria as the 

violent extremism spread, JRS established 

a project in Erbil, the capital 

of Iraq’s Kurdistan region, to provide 

Since 2008, JRS has been providing psychosocial support and education 

to refugees and IDPs in the Middle East; initially JRS services 

were focused on people displaced from Iraq, Somalia and Sudan. 

When the conflict inside Syria started, JRS began services and advocated 

for the recognition of their situation and to promote access to 

services for these people. 

assistance to displaced people. 

Coordination between JRS, Jesuit networks, 

hundreds of committed volunteers 

and other Christian and Muslim 

entities helps civilians receive much 

needed support. Our strong networks 

allow us to reach the most vulnerable 

displaced Syrians in places where other 

organizations cannot operate. 

Syria 

JRS provides emergency relief, including food, counseling, supplies and 

education to more than 300,000 people. Accompaniment — one of the 

pillars of JRS work — is embodied in regular family visits, which are at the 

heart of every JRS project across the region. Through these visits, JRS is 

able to identify the needs of families and, more importantly, to address 

these needs. 

2008 2011

JRS in Syria is engaged on two important 

fronts: emergency relief to those in 

greatest need and educational activities. 

Emergency relief includes food, hygiene 

kits, non-food items such as medical 

supplies, blankets and clothing, basic 

healthcare, managing shelters, and 

providing rent support. 

Education services include learning 

centers that offer tutoring, supplemental 

education, psychosocial services and 

recreational activities.

The ongoing conflict in Syria has 

put more than 12 million people 

in serious jeopardy — more than half 

of the country’s population. JRS/USA 

advocates for urgent diplomatic action 

to improve our access to Syrians under 

threat from violence and deprivation. 

JRS continues to urge increased humanitarian 

assistance both within Syria and 

in its neighboring countries, and the use 

of development assistance to shore up 

the infrastructure of countries hosting 

Syrian refugees so that they may continue 

to receive those fleeing the conflict. 

JRS works with displaced people within 

Syria and Iraq. JRS also works in Jordan, 

Lebanon and Turkey, providing accompaniment 

through home visits, counseling, 

and referral to professional services. 

JRS enrolled thousands of children in 

informal education programs designed 

to prepare them for further schooling 

through social activities and remedial 

education programs.

An anonymous gift of $380,000 enabled JRS to establish an Accelerated Learning Program in Lebanon for 

Syrian refugee youth who had been out of school because of the conflict. This program offers children who 

have gaps in their education as a result of the war a chance to catch up to grade-level so they can adapt to a 

new curriculum and enter the Lebanese public school system.

other services to refugee children and

From One to Many 

For the third time, John McLaughlin (above) ran the Boston Marathon to raise funds to 

support the work of Jesuit Refugee Service/USA. A St. Ignatius Church parishioner and 

Boston College employee, Mr. McLaughlin raised $9,060.20 from 156 supporters. “I’ve 

been following all the commotion of the Middle East for a few years,” Mr. McLaughlin 

said. “I know Jesuit Refugee Service does a lot of work there. I know I can’t do a lot for 

those folks but this is something. Perhaps it will communicate some small solidarity; 

that’s my hope and my intention in raising the money.” (Rich Blake photo courtesy 

Coolrunning.com) 

In 2015, JRS/USA and Any Refugee 

launched a partnership to connect 

children in the U.S. with refugee children 

around the world by delivering 

messages of hope and solidarity through 

postcards. 

Ten-year-old William Scannell IV, of 

Anchorage, Alaska, founded the Any 

Refugee program. 

After hearing a story from his father 

about how people used to send letters 

addressed to “any soldier,” William took 

this idea and put it to work helping refugee 

children. 

He mobilized his school and church 

communities to write postcards to “any 

refugee,” and in February 2015, William 

and his father traveled to Lebanon to 

visit educational programs coordinated 

by Jesuit Refugee Service. 

In 2015, JRS collected more than 580 

cards from 11 countries and 12 U.S. 

states. Cards have thus far been delivered 

to students benefiting from JRS 

education programs in Chad, Jordan, 

Uganda and Haiti.

on December 1, 2015 (left). Right: Prior to the dinner, President and Editor in Chief of America Media Fr. Matt Malone, S.J. welcomes JRS supporters to a reception

Thank You! 

To all of our JRS supporters and friends who joined us — in person and in spirit 

— for the JRS 35th Anniversary Awards Dinner on December 1. 

2015

Many thanks to all of you for your partnership and 

support throughout the past 35 years of Jesuit Refugee 

Service. More than 180 friends joined us on December 

1, 2015, at the University Club in New York to commemorate 

our 35 years of service to refugees and the displaced. 

Very Rev. Timothy Kesicki S.J., President of the Jesuit 

Conference of the United States and Canada, served as 

the host for the evening, and Richard Kelly, Chairman of 

the JRS/USA Board of Directors, spoke about the history 

of Jesuit Refugee Service. 

Although they each work on different continents, T. Alexander 

Aleinikoff, Dr. Katrine Camilleri and Sr. Denise Coghlan 

are united by their dedication to helping the most vulnerable 

people. JRS/USA recognized these three individuals at 

our commemoration dinner, and applauds their work. 

JRS Accompany Award 

Sr. Denise Coghlan, RSM, is one of the founding 

members and current director of JRS Cambodia. 

JRS Service Award 

Dr. Katrine Camilleri is a lawyer and Director of

Sr. Denise Coghlan with the JRS Accompany Award. In October of 2016, Ms. Harris will headline 

Lampedusa: Concerts for Refugees, on behalf of JRS. Singer/songwriters Steve Earle, Patty Griffin, Buddy 

Miller and The Milk Carton Kids will join her in the 11 city tour across the U.S. (Christian Fuchs —JRS/USA) 

During our 35th anniversary commemmoration 

Claudine Leary, a resettled 

refugee from Rwanda, shared her story. 

Claudine had been on the verge of attending 

university on a scholarship when 

genocide sent her country into chaos. She 

fled the country and ended up in a refugee 

camp in Malawi. Through JRS, Claudine 

began taking classes at the camp — an 

experience she credits with restoring her 

hope in life and rekindling aspirations of 

returning to college. 

“I picture the situation like being in a 

deep hole, in a big deep pit, and suddenly 

you see people around you. And those 

were Jesuits. Do you know how it feels 

when you’re down there and someone 

says, ‘I see you. Wait, I’ll find a rope.’ 

It’s unbelievable. I love Jesuit Refugee 

Service.” 

With the help of JRS, Claudine eventually 

made her way to a college in Zimbabwe 

and graduated. 

“And (my) dignity was regained!”

A generous gift from Dr. Thaddeus Regulinski and Dr. Anne B. Stericker enabled Jesuit Refugee Service to fund both a nursery in Los Cacaos, Haiti — which will help 

local residents replant areas devoid of trees — and a children’s center in Dajabôn, Dominican Republic, and to build an 18-classroom school in Tiroli, Haiti. (JRS)

are youth. (Christian Fuchs — Jesuit Refugee Service/USA)

At the center of the invitation to live generously 

and responsibly on the common home we have 

been given on this earth, we are presented with 

an invitation to recognize — in terror-struck, 

impoverished, homeless people — our very 

brothers and sisters.
